Electronic key: Keyless

Entry and Starting

This system allows the locking, unlocking and

starting the vehicle by keeping the key on your

person and in the recognition zone.

Stop & Start

This system puts the engine temporarily

into standby during stops in the traffic (red

lights, traffic jams, etc...). The engine restarts

automatically as soon as you want to move

off. The Stop & Start system reduces fuel

consumption, exhaust emissions and the noise

level when stationary.

Under-inflation detection

This system automatically checks the tyre

pressures when driving and alerts you in the

event of an under-inflated tyre.

Active City Brake

The aim of this system is to avoid a frontal

collision or reduce the speed of impact if the

driver fails to react or reacts too late.

Lane departure warning

system

This system gives a warning if you inadvertently

cross a longitudinal road marking.

Eco-driving

C1_en_Chap00c_eco-conduite_ed01-2015

Optimise the use of your gearbox

With a manual gearbox, move off gently and change up without waiting.

During acceleration change up early.

With an ETG electronic gearbox, give preference to automatic (Easy)

mode and avoid pressing the accelerator pedal heavily or suddenly.

Control the use of your electrical

equipment

Before moving off, if the passenger compartment is too warm, ventilate it

by opening the windows and air vents before using the air conditioning.

Above 30 mph (50 km/h), close the windows and leave the air vents

open.

Remember to make use of equipment that can help keep the

temperature in the passenger compartment down (sunroof and window

blinds...).

Switch off the air conditioning, unless it has automatic regulation, as

soon as the desired temperature is attained.

Switch off the demisting and defrosting controls, if not automatic.

Switch off the heated seat as soon as possible.

Switch off the headlamps and front foglamps when the level of light

does not require their use.

Avoid running the engine before moving off, particularly in winter; your

vehicle will warm up much faster while driving.

As a passenger, if you avoid connecting your multimedia devices

(film, music, video game...), you will contribute towards limiting the

consumption of electrical energy, and so of fuel.

Disconnect your portable devices before leaving the vehicle.

Eco-driving

Eco-driving is a range of everyday practices that allow the motorist to optimise their fuel consumption and CO

2

emissions.

The gear shift indicator invites you engage the most suitable gear: as

soon as the indication is displayed in the instrument panel, follow it

straight away.

For vehicles fitted with an ETG electronic gearbox, this indicator

appears only in manual mode.

Drive smoothly

Maintain a safe distance between vehicles, use engine braking rather

than the brake pedal, and press the accelerator progressively. These

practices contribute towards a reduction in fuel consumption and CO

2

emissions and also helps reduce the background traffic noise.

.Eco-driving

C1_en_Chap00c_eco-conduite_ed01-2015

Limit the causes of excess consumption

Spread loads throughout the vehicle; place the heaviest items in the

bottom of the boot, as close as possible to the rear seats.

Limit the loads carried in the vehicle and reduce wind resistance

(roof bars, roof rack...). Use a roof box in preference.

Remove roof bars and roof racks after use.

At the end of winter, remove snow tyres and refit your summer tyres.

Observe the recommendations on

maintenance

Check the tyre pressures regularly, when cold, referring to the label in

the door aperture, driver's side.

Carry out this check in particular:

- before a long journey,

- at each change of season,

- after a long period out of use.

Don't forget the spare wheel and the tyres on any trailer or caravan.

Have your vehicle serviced regularly (engine oil, oil filter, air filter,

passenger compartment filter...) and observe the schedule of

operations recommended in the maintenance and warranty guide.

When refuelling, do not continue after the third cut-off of the nozzle to

avoid any overflow.

At the wheel of your new vehicle, it is only after the first 1 800 miles

(3 000 kilometres) that you will see the fuel consumption settle down to

a consistent average.
